I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

I had to organize your Fun Dip flavors into separate Tupperware containers for each flavor. Also, you used a lot of off brand powdered drink mix as Fun Dip.

... ohhh-kaaaay. And now I wait for Pete to appear and demand to know what the hell Fun Dip is. I mean, *I* know, but I'm betting it wasn't common in the UK.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That's how I felt when I woke up. Joe's comment was, "I didn't Jilli was allowed that much sugar."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I don't mind being called manly. And that's even after my true flirtation with androgyny.

I was thinking about this in terms of gender roles and feminism recently. We've been obsessively watching Northern Exposure, and one of the things that's so interesting to me is how Maggie is portrayed and we're supposed to view her. She's this totally awesome character, but she struggles with the perception of her. Like her mom coming to visit and Maggie extrapolates how her mom feels about her short hair, "I know, you think it's too mannish, right?"

By today's standards, it's still a very feminine cut. But at the time there was definitely a thing where you had to be more masculine if you didn't want to be traditionally feminine. If you wanted to be able to fix things and fly planes and whatnot, you had to dress masculinely and be brusque and the whole shebang.

So during my androgyny thing, I felt like I had to step out of the entire role of feminine if I wanted to do the things I wanted to do (program, tech in theater, etc.) which I think is much less the case now, a short time later.

I dunno. Thoughts?

I am not, this is true.

... now I want a Twinkie. This will end badly, I can tell.

Now now, to be fair probably no one should be allowed that much sugar.

“Not dead yet!”

I can't tell you how many problems I've had with female partners of male friends because I like nerdstuff. Also, the fact that I do the grilling and all the driving when we go anywhere together seems to bug people.

I don't do the grilling, but that's mostly because I don't like being outside. When I get the chance, I do the long-distance driving because I like it. But the reason I say when I get the chance is because if the roads are too twisty or turny, Lewis gets nauseous if he's the passenger, so he has to drive.

If we're in my car, however, I drive. Period. 'Cause I'm bossy that way.

IFoodN, I want a Mexican place that delivers. No such animal exists in Jacksonville. Sad now.

Didn't mean to kill the thread. Sorry.

I'm trying to think of the places around here that deliver, and it's not too many (damn the suburbs!). Just the usual pizza places (which all serve a wide variety of other stuff than pizza, from Italian Beefs and burgers to pasta, salad, ribs, and chicken dishes), as well as a Chinese place and a Thai place (which doesn't deliver on Sundays).
